There’s nothing banal about this reserve wine. Full-throttle from the start with meaty, smoked cedar wood, clove spice, cinnamon and a hint of barnyard or wild mushroom that blows off fast. The fruity tones are not absent and slice through the mouth with a juicy, tart close. Imported by Vias Imports. ——W.E.(4/1/2006)—— 91
